"A gang or gamblers playing the III
tie joker game on the unwsry at the
29th reunion at Waterloo last Thursday
was broken up by Sheriff Bullock and
Deputy Sheriff Johnson. Four were
nabbed and placed in the Jefferson
"cooler" over night. Next morning
pleading guilty they were fined and went
their way
The Rifles returned Saturday even
ing from the Second regiment encamp-
ment at Beaver Dam, Capt. A. Solliday
in command. The boys came back in
good trim, ready to respond to the next
call from the state, and all unite in pro-
nouncing the encampment fine success
in every respect, the best one in fact yet
attended by the Rifles, which speaks well
for the hospita BILE resources of the Beaver
Dam people. And now what is the mat
ter with the proposition Of having the
next encampment at WATERFOWL? With
the proper effort being made the encamp-
ment for 1888 can be located here. Let
us try for it.
The following from The Beaver Dam
Daily will give some idea of the benefits
derived from camp:
"rhe companies in camp here last week
paid on an average 500 for subsistence.
The band of eighteen members, the field,
staff officers, and visitors at least 800
more, making at the lowest estimate
ST 200 paid for groceries, meat, bakery,
etc. A close observation assures us that
at the lowest figure not less than $4,000
was left in this city by the soldiers alone.
Add to that what the $4,000 people who
visited the city during the week would
naturally invest and our business men
have $4,000 to $4,000 to place to the
credit of the encampment."
The present management OF the Of
fee of sheriff is formulating facts that are
eloquent when placed beside those of
previous administrations. 1t is conceded
by all that we have never had a more
peaceful county than during the last
eight months. The administration has
been safe, vigorous, and what is of great
importance, has been characterized by an
economy that is striking to say the least.
Sheriff Hing managed the Office but little
worse. as the expense account shows,
than his Democratic predecessors, yet his
bill against Jefferson county last winter
was about five thousand dollars. His
board bill alone amounted to $4,000.
| Sheriff Bullock has now held the Office
for about eight months, and bis account
against the county for every kind of ser
vice, wood, and other expenses is only
81 500 and will probably come under
$500 at the close of his term. Compare
the figures Mr.. Bullock says nine prison
ers regularly at the rate allowed will pro-
vide food and fuel for all and pay for the
! services of turnkey. When we remem-
/ Der that Sheriff Hing had often fifty and
sixty men confined the greater portion
coming at their own Incarceration by
designedly exposing their persons, or be-
coming disorderly, or thus provide them
selves with comfortable berths, it is easy
to see how he and his predecessors rolled
up the luxurious accounts that the tax
payers had to foot. Verify it pays to
have Republican sheriff.-Ft atkinson
